Regional Management (NYSE: RM) boosts Q1 2026 earnings as credit costs rise
Regional Management Corp. reported higher profitability for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Total revenue rose to $167.3M, driven mainly by interest and fee income of $150.3M and insurance income of $11.8M. Net income increased to $11.4M, with basic earnings per share of $1.24 and diluted earnings per share of $1.18, compared with $0.73 and $0.70 a year earlier.
Net finance receivables were $2.10B, slightly below year-end 2025, while the allowance for credit losses stood at $219.5M, or 10.4% of net finance receivables. Credit losses were $71.2M versus $61.7M a year earlier, reflecting elevated loss activity. Total assets were $2.07B and total stockholders’ equity was $375.8M.
The company continued returning capital to shareholders, paying a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share and repurchasing 208 thousand shares for $7.5M. Subsequent to quarter-end, it extended several revolving warehouse credit facilities, pushing out maturities into 2028–2029 and modestly reducing pricing on one facility, and the Board declared another $0.30 per-share dividend payable in June 2026.
Positive
- Profitability improved meaningfully, with net income rising to $11.4M and diluted EPS to $1.18, supported by revenue of $167.3M for the quarter.
- Capital management remained shareholder-friendly, combining a $0.30 per-share quarterly dividend with $7.5M of stock repurchases during the quarter.
Negative
- Credit costs increased, as credit losses rose to $71.2M and the provision reached $64.9M, highlighting ongoing pressure in the loan portfolio.
Insights
Stronger earnings with higher credit costs and active funding management.
Regional Management delivered improved profitability, with net income rising to $11.4M as revenue reached $167.3M. Earnings per share increased to $1.18 diluted, helped by higher interest and fee income and share repurchases reducing the average share count.
Credit performance remains a key swing factor. Provision for credit losses increased to $64.9M, and credit losses rose to $71.2M. The allowance for credit losses stayed elevated at 10.4% of net finance receivables, reflecting the risk profile of its largely subprime and near-prime borrower base and the current macro backdrop.
On funding, total debt was $1.62B with $515.6M of unused revolving capacity subject to borrowing base limits. Subsequent extensions of several warehouse facilities into 2028–2029 and a lower margin on one line support liquidity continuity. Investors can gauge the balance between loan growth, credit costs, and capital returns through future quarterly disclosures.

Regional Management Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business
The Company was incorporated and began operations in 1987. The Company is engaged in the consumer finance business, offering large loans, small loans, and related payment and collateral protection insurance products. As of March 31, 2026, the Company operated under the name “Regional Finance” online and in branch locations in
The Company’s large and small loan portfolio is comprised of branch loan receivables and convenience check receivables. Branch large and small loan receivables are direct loans to customers, the majority of which are secured by non-essential household goods and, in some instances, an automobile. Convenience check receivables are direct loans originated by mailing checks to customers based on a pre-screening process that includes a review of the prospective customer’s credit profile provided by national credit reporting bureaus or data aggregators. A recipient of a convenience check is able to enter into a loan by endorsing and depositing or cashing the check.
The Company’s loan volume and contractual delinquency follow seasonal trends. Demand for the Company’s loans is typically highest during the second, third, and fourth quarters, which the Company believes is largely due to customers borrowing money for vacation, back-to-school, and holiday spending. Loan demand has generally been the lowest during the first quarter, which the Company believes is largely due to the timing of income tax refunds. Delinquencies generally reach their lowest point in the first half of the year and rise in the second half of the year. Changes in the portfolio could result in releases of the allowance for credit losses in periods of portfolio liquidation and increases to the allowance for credit losses in periods of portfolio growth. Consequently, the Company experiences seasonal fluctuations in its operating results. However, changes in macroeconomic factors, including inflation, higher interest rates, and geopolitical conflict, have impacted the Company’s typical seasonal trends for loan volume and delinquency.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with SEC regulations and GAAP for interim financial information and, accordingly, do not include all information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), but in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC.
Significant accounting policies: The following is a description of significant accounting policies used in preparing the financial statements. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with GAAP.
Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates through a separate wholly owned subsidiary in each state. The Company also consolidates VIEs when it is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE because it has (i) power over the significant activities of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that could be significant to the VIE.
Variable interest entities: The Company transfers pools of loans to SPEs to secure debt for general funding purposes. These entities have the limited purpose of acquiring finance receivables, in addition to holding and making payments on the related debts. Assets transferred to each SPE are legally isolated from the Company and its affiliates, as well as the claims of the Company’s and its affiliates’ creditors. Further, the assets of each SPE are owned by such SPE and are not available to satisfy the debts or other obligations of the Company or any of its affiliates. The Company continues to service the finance receivables transferred to the SPEs. The lenders and investors in the debt issued by the SPEs generally only have recourse to the assets of the SPEs and do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.
The SPEs’ debt arrangements are structured to provide credit enhancements to the lenders and investors, which may include overcollateralization, subordination of interests, excess spread, and reserve funds. These enhancements, along with the isolated finance receivables pools, increase the creditworthiness of the SPEs above that of the Company as a whole. This increases the marketability of the Company’s collateral for borrowing purposes, leading to more favorable borrowing terms, improved interest rate risk management, and additional flexibility to grow the business.

Table of Contents
The SPEs are considered VIEs under GAAP and are consolidated into the financial statements of their primary beneficiary. The Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the SPEs because it has (i) power over the significant activities through its role as servicer of the finance receivables under each debt arrangement, (ii) the obligation to absorb losses that could be significant through note investment, if applicable, and (iii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that could be significant through the Company’s interest in the monthly residual cash flows of the SPEs.
Consolidation of VIEs results in these transactions being accounted for as secured borrowings; therefore, the pooled receivables and the related debts remain on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company. Each debt is secured solely by the assets of the VIEs and not by any other assets of the Company. The assets of the VIEs are the only source of funds for repayment on each debt, and restricted cash held by the VIEs can only be used to support payments on the debt. The Company recognizes revenue and provision for credit losses on the finance receivables of the VIEs and interest expense on the related secured debt.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities for the periods indicated in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates that are susceptible to change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the fair value of financial instruments.
Recent accounting pronouncements: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, enhancing the disclosures about a company’s expenses. The amendment, among other things, improves these disclosures by requiring disaggregated expense information about a company’s expense types. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and early adoption is permitted. The enhanced expense guidance can be applied on either a prospective (for financial statements issued during reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU) or retrospective (to any or all prior periods presented) basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, amending the criteria for capitalization of internal-use software costs. The amendment, among other things, removes references to development stages and requires consideration of whether significant development uncertainty is present as part of the recognition threshold. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The amended guidance can be applied on a prospective, modified, or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
Net finance receivables: Generally, the Company classifies finance receivables as held for investment based on management’s intent at the time of origination. The Company determines classification on a receivable-by-receivable basis. The Company classifies finance receivables as held for investment due to its ability and intent to hold them until their contractual maturities. Net finance receivables consist of the Company’s installment loans. The Company carries net finance receivables at amortized cost, which includes remaining principal balance, accrued interest, and net unamortized deferred origination costs and unamortized fees.
Loan renewals are a significant piece of new volume and are considered a terminal event of the previous loan. The Company may renew delinquent secured or unsecured loan accounts if the customer meets the Company’s underwriting criteria and it does not appear the cause of past delinquency will affect the customer’s ability to repay the renewed loan.
Finance receivable origination fees and costs: Non-refundable fees received and direct costs (personnel and digital loan origination costs) incurred for the origination of finance receivables are deferred and recognized to interest income over their contractual lives using the constant yield method. Unamortized amounts are recognized in interest income at the time that finance receivables are paid in full or renewed.
Nonaccrual status: Accrual of interest income on finance receivables is suspended when an account becomes
Allowance for credit losses: The allowance for credit losses is based on historical credit experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. The historical loss experience is adjusted for quantitative and qualitative factors that are not fully reflected in the historical data. In determining its estimate of expected credit losses, the Company evaluates information related
10
Table of Contents
to credit metrics, changes in its lending strategies and underwriting practices, and the current and forecasted direction of the economic and business environment. These metrics include, but are not limited to, loan portfolio mix and growth, unemployment, credit loss trends, delinquency trends, changes in underwriting, and operational risks.
The Company selected a PD / LGD model to estimate its base allowance for credit losses, in which the estimated loss is equal to the product of PD and LGD. Historical net finance receivables are tracked over the term of the pools to identify the incidences of loss (PDs) and the average severity of losses (LGDs).
To enhance the precision of the allowance for credit loss estimate, the Company evaluates its finance receivable portfolio on a pool basis and segments each pool of finance receivables with similar credit risk characteristics. As part of its evaluation, the Company considers loan portfolio characteristics such as product type, loan size, loan term, internal or external credit scores, delinquency status, geographical location, and vintage. Based on analysis of historical loss experience, the Company selected the following segmentation: product type, FICO score, and delinquency status.
As finance receivables are originated, provisions for credit losses are recorded in amounts sufficient to maintain an allowance for credit losses at an adequate level to provide for estimated losses over the contractual life of the finance receivables (considering the effect of prepayments). Subsequent changes to the contractual terms that are a result of re-underwriting are not included in the finance receivable’s contractual life (considering the effect of prepayments). The Company uses its segmentation loss experience to forecast expected credit losses. Historical information about losses generally provides a basis for the estimate of expected credit losses. The Company also considers the need to adjust historical information to reflect the extent to which current conditions differ from the conditions that existed for the period over which historical information was evaluated. These adjustments to historical loss information may be qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecasts are required for the Company’s allowance for credit loss model. The Company engaged a major rating service to assist with compiling a reasonable and supportable forecast. The Company reviews macroeconomic forecasts to use in its allowance for credit losses. The Company adjusts the historical loss experience by relevant qualitative factors for these expectations. The Company does not require reversion adjustments, as the contractual lives of its portfolio are shorter than its available forecast periods.
The Company charges credit losses against the allowance for all products when an account reaches
Restricted cash: Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents for which the Company’s ability to withdraw funds is contractually limited. The Company’s restricted cash consists of cash reserves that are maintained as collateral for potential credit life insurance claims and cash restricted for debt servicing of the Company’s revolving warehouse credit facilities and securitizations.
Restricted AFS investments: The Company classifies its investments in debt securities that were purchased with the Company’s restricted cash as restricted AFS investments and carries the investments at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income or loss until realized. The unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses from the sale of AFS investments are specifically identified and reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and included within earnings on the consolidated statement of income.
Share-based compensation: The Company measures compensation expense for share-based awards at estimated fair value and recognizes compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. In addition, compensation expense for certain performance awards may be impacted by the probability of certain financial goals being achieved over the relevant performance period. The Company uses the closing stock price on the date of grant as the fair value of RSAs, performance-contingent RSUs, and service-based RSUs. The fair value of NQSOs is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the fair value of PRSUs is determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model. When applicable, the Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo models require the input of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and a discount associated with post-vest holding restrictions, changes to which can affect the fair value estimate. Expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical stock price volatility. Expected dividends are calculated using the expected dividend yield (annualized dividends divided by the grant date stock price). The expected term is calculated using the simplified method (average of the vesting and original contractual terms) due to insufficient historical data to estimate the expected term. The risk-free rate is based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond rate over the expected term of the awards. The estimated discount associated with post-vest holding restrictions is calculated
11
Table of Contents
using a blend of the Finnerty and Chaffe models. In addition, the estimation of share-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.
The Company allows for the settlement of share-based awards on a net share basis. With net share settlement, the employee does not surrender any cash or shares upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting of stock awards or stock units. Rather, the Company withholds the number of shares with a value equivalent to the option exercise price (for stock options) and the statutory tax withholding (for all share-based awards). Net share settlements have the effect of reducing the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of exercise or vesting.
The Company issues PRSUs, service-based RSUs, and RSAs to certain members of senior management under the Company’s LTIP. Recurring annual grants are made at the discretion of the Board. The annual grants are subject to cliff- and graded-vesting, generally concluding at the end of the third calendar year and subject to continued employment or as otherwise provided in the underlying award agreements. Vested PRSUs are subject to an additional
The Company also has a KTIP for certain other members of senior management. Recurring annual participation in the program is at the discretion of the Board and executive management. The annual grants are subject to graded-vesting, generally concluding at the end of the third calendar year and subject to continued employment or as otherwise provided in the underlying award agreements.
From time to time, the Company issues stock awards and other long-term incentive awards in conjunction with employment offers to select new employees and retention grants to select existing employees. The Company issues these awards to attract and retain talent and to provide market competitive compensation. The grants have various vesting terms, including fully-vested awards at the grant date, cliff-vesting, and graded-vesting over periods of up to five years (subject to continued employment or as otherwise provided in the underlying award agreements).
The Company awards its non-employee directors a cash retainer and shares of restricted common stock. The RSAs are granted on the fifth business day following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders and fully vest upon the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the completion of the directors’ annual service to the Company (so long as the period between the date of the annual stockholders’ meeting related to the grant date and the date of the next annual stockholders’ meeting is not less than 50 weeks).
The exercise price of all stock options is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. Stock options are subject to various vesting terms, including graded- and cliff-vesting over periods of up to

The credit quality of the Company’s finance receivable portfolio is dependent on the Company’s ability to enforce sound underwriting standards, maintain diligent servicing of the portfolio, and respond to changing economic conditions as it manages and grows its portfolio. The allowance for credit losses uses FICO scores and delinquency as key data points in estimating the allowance. The Company uses

The programs consist of offering payment deferrals, refinancing, and, in limited instances, settlements. Customers may also pursue financial assistance through external sources, such as filing for bankruptcy protection. Modification programs available to our customers are described in more detail below:

Note 5. Variable Interest Entities
As part of its overall funding strategy, the Company has transferred certain finance receivables to affiliated VIEs for asset-backed financing transactions, including securitizations. The Company’s revolving warehouse credit facilities and securitizations are issued by the Company’s SPEs, which are considered VIEs under GAAP and are consolidated into the financial statements of their primary beneficiary.
These debts are supported by the expected cash flows from the underlying collateralized finance receivables. Collections on these finance receivables are remitted to restricted cash collection accounts, which totaled $
At each sale of receivables from the Company’s affiliates to the SPEs, the Company makes certain representations and warranties about the quality and nature of the collateralized receivables. The debt arrangements require the Company to repurchase the receivables in certain circumstances, including circumstances in which the representations and warranties made by the Company concerning the quality and characteristics of the receivables are inaccurate. Assets transferred to each SPE are legally isolated from the Company and its affiliates, as well as the claims of the Company’s and its affiliates’ creditors. Further, the assets of each SPE are owned by such SPE and are not available to satisfy the debts or other obligations of the Company or any of its affiliates.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs:

Securitizations: From time to time, the Company and its SPE, RMR III, complete private offerings and sales of asset-backed notes through the Company’s Issuance Trusts. The asset-backed notes are secured by finance receivables and other related assets that RMR III purchased from the Company, which RMR III then sells and transfers to the Issuance Trusts. The Issuance Trusts hold restricted cash reserves to satisfy provisions of the transaction documents. Borrowings under the securitizations bear interest, payable monthly, and principal repayments begin the month subsequent to the end of the revolving period. Prior to maturity, the Company may redeem

Share repurchases under the stock repurchase program may be made in the open market at prevailing market prices, through privately negotiated transactions, or through other structures in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, at times and in amounts as the Company’s management deems appropriate. The timing and the amount of any common stock repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the Company’s liquidity needs, legal and contractual requirements and restrictions (including covenants in the Company’s credit agreements), share price, and other factors. Repurchases of common stock may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and restricted cash: Cash and restricted cash is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value due to its highly liquid nature.
21
Table of Contents
Restricted AFS investments: The fair value of U.S. Treasury securities is priced using an external pricing service which the Company corroborates using a secondary external vendor. For additional information on the Company's restricted AFS investments, see Note 4, “Restricted Available-for-Sale Investments.”
Net finance receivables: The Company determines the fair value of net finance receivables using a discounted cash flows methodology. The application of this methodology requires the Company to make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, prepayment rates, default rates, loss severity, and risk-adjusted discount rates.
Debt: The Company estimates the fair value of debt using estimated credit marks based on an index of similar financial instruments (credit facilities) and projected cash flows from the underlying collateralized finance receivables (securitizations), each discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate.
Certain of the Company’s assets estimated fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs an analysis of the assets and liabilities that are estimated at fair value. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.
The following table includes the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities disclosed but not carried at fair value:

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company has been named as a defendant in legal actions in connection with its activities. Some of the actual or threatened legal actions include claims for compensatory damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. The Company contests liability and the amount of damages, as appropriate, in each pending matter.
Where available information indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss, the Company accrues the estimated loss by a charge to net income.
However, in many legal actions, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable, or even reasonably possible, or to estimate the amount of loss. This is particularly true for actions that are in their early stages of development or where plaintiffs seek indeterminate damages. In addition, even where a loss is reasonably possible or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued, it is not always possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible loss or range of loss. Before a loss, additional loss, range of loss, or range of additional loss can be reasonably estimated for any given action, numerous issues may need to be resolved, including through lengthy discovery, following determination of important factual matters, and/or by addressing novel or unsettled legal questions.
For certain other legal actions, the Company can estimate reasonably possible losses, additional losses, ranges of loss, or ranges of additional loss in excess of amounts accrued, but the Company does not believe, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that such losses will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.
25
Table of Contents
While the Company will continue to identify legal actions where it believes a material loss to be reasonably possible and reasonably estimable, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from claims that the Company has not yet been notified of or are not yet determined to be probable, or reasonably possible and reasonable to estimate.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These discussions contain forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations and that include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our strategies, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, expectations regarding demand and acceptance for our financial products, growth opportunities and trends in the market in which we operate, prospects, and plans and objectives of management. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “predicts,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events, and/or performance to differ materially from the plans, intentions, and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risks set forth in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (which was filed with the SEC on February 20, 2026) and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking information we have provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the safe harbor established under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 should be evaluated in the context of these factors. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise such statements, except as required by the federal securities laws.
Overview
We are a diversified consumer finance company that provides installment loan products primarily to customers with limited access to consumer credit from banks, thrifts, credit card companies, and other lenders. As of March 31, 2026, we operate under the name “Regional Finance” online and in 355 branch locations in 19 states across the United States, serving 572,000 active accounts. Most of our loan products are secured, and each is structured on a fixed-rate, fixed-term basis with fully amortizing equal monthly installment payments, repayable at any time without penalty. We source our loans through our omni-channel platform, which includes our branches, centrally-managed direct mail campaigns, digital partners, and our consumer website. We operate an integrated branch model in which nearly all loans, regardless of origination channel, are serviced through our branch network with the support of centralized sales, underwriting, service, collections, and administrative teams. This model provides us with frequent contact with our customers, which we believe improves our credit performance and customer loyalty. Our goal is to consistently grow our finance receivables and to soundly manage our portfolio risk, while providing our customers with attractive and easy-to-understand loan products that serve their varied financial needs.
Our products include:
27
Table of Contents
Our core products are large and small installment loans. Our primary sources of revenue are interest and fee income from our loan products, of which interest and fees relating to large and small installment loans are the largest component. In addition to interest and fee income from loans, we earn revenue from optional insurance products purchased by customers of our loan products.
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our business is impacted by several factors affecting our revenues, costs, and results of operations, including the following:
Quarterly Information and Seasonality. Our loan volume and contractual delinquency follow seasonal trends. Demand for our loans is typically highest during the second, third, and fourth quarters, which we believe is largely due to customers borrowing money for vacation, back-to-school, and holiday spending. Loan demand has generally been the lowest during the first quarter, which we believe is largely due to the timing of income tax refunds. Delinquencies generally reach their lowest point in the first half of the year and rise in the second half of the year. Changes in the portfolio could result in releases of the allowance for credit losses in periods of portfolio liquidation and increases to the allowance for credit losses in periods of portfolio growth. Consequently, we experience seasonal fluctuations in our operating results. However, changes in macroeconomic factors, including inflation, higher interest rates, and geopolitical conflict, have impacted our typical seasonal trends for loan volume and delinquency.
Growth in Loan Portfolio. The revenue that we generate from interest and fees is largely driven by the balance of loans that we originate. We source our loans through our branches, centrally-managed direct mail program, digital partners, and consumer website. The majority of our loans, regardless of origination channel, are serviced through our branches. Increasing the number of loans per branch and growing our state footprint allows us to increase the number of customers we are able to serve. We continue to assess our branch network for clear opportunities to add branches in new and existing states where it is favorable for us to conduct business or consolidate operations into larger branches within close geographic proximity. This branch optimization is consistent with our omni-channel strategy and builds upon our recent successes in entering new states with a lighter branch footprint, while still providing customers with best-in-class service.
Our growth decisions consider consumer health, strength of the economy, and the credit performance of our portfolio. We balance our commitment to deliver strong short-term results while also generating the portfolio growth that will fuel our success and returns over the long term. As we grow our portfolio, we are required to reserve for expected lifetime credit losses at the origination of each loan, which reduces net income, while the related revenue benefits are recognized over the life of each loan. This timing difference can weigh on short‑term results during periods of portfolio expansion.
Product Mix. We are exposed to different credit risks and charge different interest rates and fees with respect to the various types of loans we offer. Our product mix also varies to some extent by state, and we may further diversify our product mix in the future. The interest rates and fees vary from state to state, depending on the competitive environment and relevant laws and regulations.
Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses. Our results of operations are highly dependent upon the credit quality of our loan portfolio. The credit quality of our loan portfolio is the result of our ability to enforce sound underwriting standards, maintain diligent servicing of the portfolio, and respond to changing economic conditions as we grow our loan portfolio.
The primary underlying factors driving the provision for credit losses for each loan type are our underwriting standards, delinquency trends, the general economic conditions in the areas in which we conduct business, loan portfolio growth, and the effectiveness of our servicing and collection efforts. We monitor these factors, and the amount and past due status of all loans, to identify trends that might require us to modify the allowance for credit losses.
Interest Rates. Our costs of funds are affected by changes in interest rates, as the interest rates that we pay on certain of our credit facilities are variable. As a component of our strategy to manage the interest rate risk associated with future interest payments on our variable-rate debt, a majority of our funding was held at a fixed rate as of March 31, 2026, representing 84% of our total debt balance.
Operating Costs. Our financial results are impacted by the costs of operations and head office functions. Those costs are included in general and administrative expenses within our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
28
Table of Contents
Components of Results of Operations
Interest and Fee Income. Our interest and fee income consists primarily of interest earned on outstanding loans. Accrual of interest income on finance receivables is suspended when an account becomes 90 days delinquent. If the account is charged off, the accrued interest income is reversed as a reduction of interest and fee income.
Most states allow certain fees in connection with lending activities, such as loan origination fees, acquisition fees, and maintenance fees. Some states allow for higher fees while keeping interest rates lower. Loan fees are additional charges to the customer and generally are included in the APR shown in the Truth in Lending disclosure that we make to our customers. The fees may or may not be refundable to the customer in the event of an early payoff, depending on state law. Fees are recognized as income over the life of the loan on the constant yield method.
Insurance Income, Net. Our insurance operations are a material part of our overall business and are integral to our lending activities. Insurance income, net consists primarily of earned premiums, net of certain direct costs, from the sale of various optional payment and collateral protection insurance products offered to customers who obtain loans directly from us. Insurance income, net also includes the earned premiums and direct costs associated with the non-file insurance that we purchase to protect us from credit losses where, following an event of default, we are unable to take possession of personal property collateral because our security interest is not perfected. We do not sell insurance to non-borrowers. Direct costs included in insurance income, net are claims paid, claims reserves, ceding fees, and premium taxes paid. We do not allocate to insurance income, net, any other head office or branch administrative costs associated with management of insurance operations, management of our captive insurance company, marketing and selling insurance products, legal and compliance review, or internal audits.
Other Income. Our other income consists of late charges assessed on customers who fail to make a payment within a specified number of days following the due date of the payment, interest income from restricted cash, commissions earned from the sale of club membership products, and investment income from restricted AFS securities.
Provision for Credit Losses. Provisions for credit losses are recorded in amounts that we estimate as sufficient to maintain an allowance for credit losses at an adequate level to provide for lifetime expected credit losses on the related finance receivable portfolio. We reserve for expected lifetime credit losses at origination of each loan, while the revenue benefits are recognized over the life of the loan. Credit loss experience, current conditions, reasonable and supportable economic forecasts, delinquency of finance receivables, loan portfolio growth, the value of underlying collateral, and management’s judgment are factors used in assessing the overall adequacy of the allowance and the resulting provision for credit losses. Substantial adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in forecasted economic conditions or loan portfolio performance.
General and Administrative Expenses. Our financial results are impacted by the costs of operations and head office functions. Those costs are included in general and administrative expenses within our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of four categories: personnel, occupancy, marketing, and other.
Our personnel expenses are the largest component of our general and administrative expenses and consist primarily of the salaries and wages, overtime, contract labor, relocation costs, incentives, benefits, and related payroll taxes associated with all of our operations and head office employees.
Our occupancy expenses consist primarily of the cost of renting our facilities, all of which are leased, and the utility, depreciation of leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures, communication and connectivity services, and other non-personnel costs associated with operating our business.
Our marketing expenses consist primarily of costs associated with our direct mail campaigns (including postage and costs associated with selecting recipients), digital marketing, maintaining our consumer website, and local marketing by branches. These costs are expensed as incurred.
Other expenses consist primarily of legal, compliance, audit, and consulting costs, as well as software maintenance and support, non-employee director compensation, electronic payment processing costs, bank service charges, office supplies, credit bureau charges, and the amortization of software, software licenses, and implementation costs. We frequently experience fluctuations in other expenses as we grow our loan portfolio and expand our market footprint.
For a discussion regarding how risks and uncertainties associated with the current regulatory environment may impact our future expenses, net income, and overall financial condition, see Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Interest Expense. Our interest expense consists primarily of paid and accrued interest for debt, unused line fees, and amortization of debt issuance costs.
Income Taxes. Income taxes consist of state and federal income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The change in deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period in which the change occurs, and the effects of future tax rate changes are recognized in the period in which the enactment of new rates occurs.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, versus the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Net Income. Net income increased $4.4 million, or 62.7%, to $11.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $7.0 million during the prior-year period. The change in net income is explained in greater detail below.
Revenue. Total revenue increased $14.3 million, or 9.4%, to $167.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $153.0 million during the prior-year period. The components of revenue are explained in greater detail below.
Interest and Fee Income. Interest and fee income increased $13.7 million, or 10.1%, to $150.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $136.6 million during the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to a 12.4% increase in average net finance receivables, partially offset by a 0.6% decrease in interest and fee yield. The decrease in yield was primarily due to a higher percentage of large and auto-secured loans within the portfolio.
The following table sets forth the average net finance receivables balance and interest and fee yield for our loan products for the periods indicated:

Total originations decreased to $388.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $392.1 million during the prior-year period due to lower small loan demand from a stronger tax refund season and disciplined underwriting.

Earned premiums increased by $0.6 million, and claims, reserves, and certain direct expenses were consistent, in each case compared to the prior-year period. The increase in insurance premiums was primarily due to increases in personal property insurance premiums and life insurance premiums.
Other Income. Other income increased $0.1 million, or 1.3%, to $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $5.1 million during the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in late charges associated with portfolio growth.
Provision for Credit Losses. Our provision for credit losses increased $6.9 million, or 11.9%, to $64.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $58.0 million during the prior-year period. The increase was due to an increase in net credit losses of $7.9 million, partially offset by the change in provision expense of $1.0 million, in each case compared to the prior-year period. The increase in the provision for credit losses is explained in greater detail below.
Allowance for Credit Losses. We evaluate delinquency and losses in each of our loan products in establishing the allowance for credit losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the allowance for credit losses included releases of $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of net finance receivables decreased to 10.4% as of March 31, 2026, from 10.5% as of March 31, 2025.
Net Credit Losses. Net credit losses increased $7.9 million, or 13.5%, to $66.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $58.4 million during the prior-year period. The net credit loss rate was 12.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 12.4% during the prior-year period. The net credit loss rate was inclusive of a 10 basis point increase due to the impact from higher portfolio balance liquidation in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
Delinquency Performance. Our delinquency rate increased to 7.2% as of March 31, 2026 from 7.1% as of the prior-year period. The delinquency rate was inclusive of a 10 basis point increase due to the impact from higher portfolio balance liquidation in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased $1.4 million, or 2.1%, to $64.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $66.0 million during the prior-year period. The absolute dollar decrease in general and administrative expenses is explained in greater detail below.
Personnel. The largest component of general and administrative expenses was personnel expense, which decreased $1.8 million, or 4.4%, to $39.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $41.1 million during the prior-year period. The decrease was driven by lower CEO costs of $1.2 million, lower earned incentive compensation of $0.6 million, and higher capitalized loan origination costs, which reduce personnel expenses, of $0.5 million. The decrease was partially offset by increased labor costs of $0.4 million to support growth.
Occupancy. Occupancy expenses increased $0.6 million, or 8.3%, to $7.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $6.9 million during the prior-year period, primarily due to expenses associated with opening 10 new branches since the prior-year period.
Marketing. Marketing expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 22.7%, to $4.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $5.4 million during the prior-year period, primarily due to optimization of our framework for direct mail marketing.
Other Expenses. Other expenses increased $1.1 million, or 8.5%, to $13.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $12.6 million during the prior-year period. Other expenses increased $0.8 million due to investment in digital and technological capabilities, including our new front-end branch origination platform. Additionally, we often experience increases in other expenses including legal expenses, bank fees, and certain professional expenses as we grow our loan portfolio and expand our market footprint.
Operating Expense Ratio. Our operating expense ratio decreased to 12.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 14.0% during the prior-year period. Our operating expense ratio has improved as we have grown our loan portfolio and controlled expense growth.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $3.2 million, or 15.9%, to $22.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $19.8 million during the prior-year period primarily due to an increase in the average balance of our debt facilities. The average balance of our debt facilities increased to $1.6 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $1.5 billion during the prior-year period. Our cost of funds increased 0.1% to 4.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 4.2% during the prior-year period.

Table of Contents
Income Taxes. Income taxes increased $1.3 million, or 59.4%, to $3.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $2.2 million during the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to a $5.7 million increase in income before taxes compared to the prior-year period. Our effective tax rates were 23.1% and 23.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash needs relate to the funding of our lending activities and, to a lesser extent, expenditures relating to improving our technology infrastructure and expanding and maintaining our branch locations. We have historically financed, and plan to continue to finance, our short-term and long-term operating liquidity and capital needs through a combination of cash flows from operations and borrowings under our debt facilities, including our senior revolving credit facility, revolving warehouse credit facilities, and asset-backed securitization transactions, all of which are described below. We continue to seek ways to diversify our funding sources. As of March 31, 2026, our funded debt-to-equity ratio was 4.3 to 1.0 and stockholders’ equity ratio was 18.1%, compared to 4.4 to 1.0 and 17.7%, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $4.9 million as of March 31, 2026, from $3.8 million as of December 31, 2025. We had immediate availability to draw down cash from our revolving credit facilities of $130.7 million and $145.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our unused capacity on our revolving credit facilities (subject to the borrowing base) was $515.6 million and $511.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our debt balance was $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2025.
Based upon anticipated cash flows, we believe that cash flows from operations and our various financing alternatives will provide sufficient financing for debt maturities and operations over the next twelve months, as well as into the future.
From time to time, we have extended the maturity date of and increased the borrowing limits under our senior revolving credit facility. While we have successfully obtained such extensions and increases in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so if and when needed in the future. As of March 31, 2026 the revolving period maturities of our securitizations and warehouse credit facilities (each as described below within “Financing Arrangements and Restricted Cash Reserve Accounts”) ranged from May 2026 to October 2027, with the exception of the RMIT 2022-1 securitization, for which the revolving period ended in February 2025. We had not exercised our right to redeem the notes of this securitization as of March 31, 2026. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure an extension of the warehouse credit facilities or close additional securitization transactions if and when needed in the future.
Dividends and Stock Repurchases.
The Board may in its discretion declare and pay cash dividends on our common stock. The following table sets forth the quarterly dividends declared and paid for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

While we intend to pay our quarterly dividend for the foreseeable future, all subsequent dividends will be reviewed and declared at the discretion of the Board and will depend on many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applicable to the payment of dividends, and other considerations that the Board deems relevant. Our dividend payments may change from time to time, and the Board may choose not to continue to declare dividends in the future.
See Note 14, “Subsequent Events” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements,” for information regarding our cash dividend following the end of the fiscal quarter.
In December 2024, we announced that the Board had authorized a $30.0 million stock repurchase program. The authorization was effective immediately and extended through December 31, 2026. In November 2025, we announced that our Board had approved a $30.0 million increase in the amount authorized under the stock repurchase program announced in December 2024, from $30.0 million to $60.0 million. The authorization was effective immediately and extends through June 30, 2027. As of March 31, 2026, we had repurchased 1.0 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $35.2 million, including commissions and estimated excise taxes, over the life of the program.

Cash Flow.
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $81.0 million, compared to $63.7 million during the prior-year period, a net increase of $17.3 million. The increase in net cash provided was primarily due to the year-over-year growth of our loan portfolio.
Investing Activities. Investing activities consist of originations and repayments of finance receivables, purchases of intangible assets, and purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $34.8 million, compared to $60.3 million during the prior-year period, a net decrease in cash used of $25.4 million. The decrease in net cash used was primarily due to higher repayments of finance receivables, which partially offset cash outflows from new originations.
Financing Activities. Financing activities consist of borrowings and payments on our outstanding indebtedness. Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $41.0 million, compared to $12.6 million during the prior-year period, a net increase in cash used of $28.4 million. The increase in cash used was primarily due to a decrease in the net advances on debt instruments of $29.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in payments for debt issuance costs of $2.8 million.
Financing Arrangements and Restricted Cash Reserve Accounts.
As of March 31, 2026, we had five credit facilities outstanding and, from time to time, we engage in the private offering and sale of asset-backed notes. As part of our overall funding strategy, we have transferred certain finance receivables to affiliated VIEs for asset-backed financing transactions. Our debt arrangements described below, other than our senior revolving credit facility, are issued by each of our RMR and RMIT SPEs, which are considered VIEs under GAAP. These debts are supported by the expected cash flows from the underlying collateralized finance receivables. Collections on these finance receivables are remitted to restricted cash collection accounts, which totaled $84.7 million and $81.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our debt arrangements also contain various debt covenants. We were in compliance with all such debt covenants as of March 31, 2026.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the consumer finance industry. The preparation of these financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities for the periods indicated in the financial statements. Management bases estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Allowance for Credit Losses.
The allowance for credit losses is based on historical credit experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. The historical loss experience is adjusted for quantitative and qualitative factors that are not fully reflected in the historical data. In determining our estimate of expected credit losses, we evaluate information related to credit metrics, changes in our lending strategies and underwriting practices, and the current and forecasted direction of the economic and business environment. These metrics include, but are not limited to, loan portfolio mix and growth, unemployment, credit loss trends, delinquency trends, changes in underwriting, and operational risks.
We selected a PD / LGD model to estimate our base allowance for credit losses, in which the estimated loss is equal to the product of PD and LGD. Historical net finance receivables are tracked over the term of the pools to identify the incidences of loss (PDs) and the average severity of losses (LGDs).
To enhance the precision of the allowance for credit loss estimate, we evaluate our finance receivable portfolio on a pool basis and segment each pool of finance receivables with similar credit risk characteristics. As part of our evaluation, we consider loan portfolio characteristics such as product type, loan size, loan term, internal or external credit scores, delinquency status, geographical location, and vintage. Based on analysis of historical loss experience, we selected the following segmentation: product type, FICO score, and delinquency status.
As finance receivables are originated, provisions for credit losses are recorded in amounts sufficient to maintain an allowance for credit losses at an adequate level to provide for estimated losses over the contractual life of the finance receivables (considering the effect of prepayments). Subsequent changes to the contractual terms that are a result of re-underwriting are not included in the finance receivable’s contractual life (considering the effect of prepayments). We use our segmentation loss experience to forecast expected credit losses. Historical information about losses generally provides a basis for the estimate of expected credit losses. We also consider the need to adjust historical information to reflect the extent to which current conditions differ from the conditions that existed for the period over which historical information was evaluated. These adjustments to historical loss information may be qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Macroeconomic forecasts are required for our allowance for credit loss model and require significant judgment and estimation uncertainty. We consider key economic factors, most notably unemployment rates, to incorporate into our estimate of the allowance for credit losses. We engaged a major rating service provider to assist with compiling a reasonable and supportable forecast which we use to support the adjustments of our historical loss experience.
Due to the judgment and uncertainty in estimating the expected credit losses, we may experience changes to the macroeconomic assumptions within our forecast, as well as changes to our credit loss performance outlook, both of which could lead to further changes in our allowance for credit losses, allowance as a percentage of net finance receivables, and provision for credit losses. Potential macroeconomic changes have created conditions that increase the level of uncertainty associated with our estimate of the amount and timing of future credit losses from our loan portfolio.
Macroeconomic Sensitivity. To demonstrate the sensitivity of forecasting macroeconomic conditions, we stressed our macroeconomic model with 10% increased weighting towards slower near-term growth that would have increased our reserves as of March 31, 2026 by $1.8 million.
The macroeconomic scenarios are highly influenced by timing, severity, and duration of changes in the underlying economic factors. This makes it difficult to estimate how potential changes in economic factors affect the estimated credit losses. Therefore, this hypothetical analysis is not intended to represent our expectation of changes in our estimate of expected credit losses due to a change in the macroeconomic environment, nor does it consider management’s judgment of other quantitative and qualitative information which could increase or decrease the estimate.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect our results of operations and financial condition. We originate finance receivables either at prevailing market rates or at statutory limits. Our finance receivables are structured on a fixed-rate, fixed-term basis. Accordingly, subject to statutory limits, our ability to react to changes in prevailing market rates is dependent upon the speed at which our customers pay off or renew loans in our existing loan portfolio, which allows us to originate new loans at prevailing market rates. Because our large loans have longer maturities than our small loans and typically renew at a slower rate than our small loans, our reaction time to changes may be affected as our large loans change as a percentage of our portfolio.
We also are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of certain borrowing activities. As of March 31, 2026, the interest rates on 84% of our debt (the securitizations) were fixed. We maintain liquidity and fund our business operations in part through variable-rate borrowings under a senior revolving credit facility and multiple revolving warehouse credit facilities. As of March 31, 2026, the balances and key terms of the credit facilities’ interest rate risk were as follows:

Based on the underlying rates and the outstanding balances as of March 31, 2026, an increase of 100 basis points in the rates of our revolving credit facilities would result in approximately $2.7 million of increased interest expense on an annual basis, in the aggregate, under these borrowings.
The nature and amount of our debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions, and other factors.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost–benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s management does not believe that these matters, when ultimately concluded and determined, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations.

Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. In addition to the risk factor below and the other information set forth in this report and in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (which was filed with the SEC on February 20, 2026), which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or future operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
Our efforts to launch products and services through our bank partner may be unsuccessful.
We currently have a bank partnership program with Column. Pursuant to this arrangement, Column provides secured and unsecured installment lending products to consumers in select states through our platform and other approved channels, and we act as the service provider and program manager for these loans. Column retains ultimate control and oversight over the program, including the right to monitor our activities, require modifications to the program, and determine the terms, conditions, and requirements of any loans, credit risk, underwriting, and product documents. The success of the program is therefore largely dependent on Column’s ability to effectively manage the program. Changes to lending laws and/or adverse regulatory enforcement actions against Column, even if unrelated to our business, could impose restrictions on Column’s ability to continue to extend credit through the program or its ability to extend credit on current terms. Column serves as our sole bank partner at this time, and if our arrangements with Column were to end for any reason, we may be unable to find a new bank partner on similar terms or at all or have the resources and/or ability to continue the lending activities performed through our current bank partnership program, which could result in loss of future revenue from the products and services offered under this program.
Further, state and federal agencies have broad discretion to interpret the laws relating to bank partnership programs and may alter their interpretation of the applicable laws at any time, which could negatively impact our bank partnership program. Some states are also introducing and passing legislation that cap interest and fees that may be charged in the bank partnership context. Additionally, bank regulators with supervisory authority over Column may have the ability to regulate certain aspects of our business related to our bank partnership program, which could increase our cost to operate the program and adversely affect the profitability of our bank partnership program.
Recent litigation and government enforcement action have also challenged the validity of certain bank partnerships, including disputes seeking to recharacterize the non-bank party in a bank partnership lending transaction as the “true lender.” If the legal structure underlying our relationship with Column were to be successfully challenged, we may be found to be in violation of state law, including certain licensing requirements and laws regulating interest rates and fees and in certain instances, the loans originated by Column under our bank partnership program could be deemed usurious, which could result in such loans being unenforceable or reduce or extinguish the principal and/or interest (paid or to be paid) on such loans, or result in fees, damages, and penalties to us or Column.
